4:17 pm
you want a form of an ekg. that can be done in a doctor's office, but you want it monitored over a longer time. i just had one done where i had a monitor on for two weeks straight. >> i had something done with this device that you were wearing for a couple weeks, because you have a valve issue that you've had since you were a child. this is more common than people think. >> very common. >> this is where testing comes in. >> i had it, my mother had it. very common. i think the message we want to put out there is you can have it an a congenital defect, meaning you're born with it. and you can grow up and become doctors like me, but the way you get there is to follow it. for those who say they've had murmurs, make sure you're following it. the old way of following it really was with very simple kinds of ultra-sounds, now it's more sophisticated types of ecocardio grams and even goes

4:19 pm
downstream. you want to keep that functioning well, so you want to make sure your waist is let that he 35 inches, that your blood pressure is low, that your cholesterol is low, and that your blood sugar remains normal. so make you're you're taking care of -- so when the heart pump, it's not pumping against so much resistance. >> let's talk about this disparity that we've heard about between women and men, afric african-american women versus white women as well. >> diabetes is more common in african-american women, high blood pressure is more common in african-american women, but i think the concerning thing overall is regardless of the genetic makeup, women do not do as well after a heart attack than men. i think a lot of that can be
4:20 pm
improved if the woman is doing all the things she can for her heart now, whether it's a valve problem or rhythm problem or coronary artery problem. women put this stuff off. they can't. without the heart working, the whole system goes down. >> an important conversation. dr. jackie, thanks so much. pat, back over to you. thanks, both of you. let's check out the weather. >> we've had all different types of weather. we've had sprinkles, a few showers, reports of grapple, and this morning on the radar, you can see the moisture was over us, nothing was reaching the ground, but i snapped this picture. normally you would see this type of cloud formation in spring or summer, but we had the mammatus clouds today, indicative of the cold air aloft, and the moisture sinking down, bubbling below the cloud line. pretty cool to see it this time
4:21 pm
of year. we have some reports of grapple, being reported on twitter. mostly light showers across the area, but where it's starting to cool down, and you can see the big shaking there of white, that's the snow that's trying to fall, down toward woodstock, not too far away. reports of a bit of that frozen precip that's making it all the way down to the surface. and more rain instead of just light showers. and all this moisture will be over us for a while, probably until about 11:00 p.m. or midnight, about you it's not going to be that heavy. you can see there's some dry air trying to work into part of the system right now. our temperatures are in the 40s here, so holding at 42, 43 degrees us around falls church. so your how-by-hour forecast, here we go.
4:22 pm
from sprinkles to light showers, rain, even a bit of snow north and west of d.c., temperature holding at 40 to 8:00 p.m. this evening of the this whole system quickly races out of here. we'll see some sunshine back tomorrow. tomorrow is a partly sunny day. as we get into friday, partly sunny sky, with another system that's going to develop just to our west that could deliver the possibility of some snow showers coming our way late friday night after midnight into early saturday morning. there we are at 12:30 in the morning up until about 10:00, maybe 11:00 a.m. or so. right now that's possible. as far as tomorrow morning, we're mostly clear, a cool start for us, 27 to 34 degrees. take a look at our high for tomorrow. 46 to 52. that, folks, really is not bad at all. we have a nice afternoon coming our way tomorrow. four-day forecast, we take it up to 52.

4:36 pm
drudge up anything that would cause any political backlash against this president. >> what did your listeners like about the address last night? >> you know, people overwhelmingly loved this speech, particularly, of course, it was about job, but the emotional parts of this speech really resonated with our listeners. gun violence, of course, and having hydia pendleton's parents there, that reaches the gore, not necessarily -- that's a direction mention of it in a way. the president didn't talk about black violence and gun violence against african-americans, 500 murders last year in chicago, and of course the 102-year-old lady who had to stand in line to vote.
4:37 pm
voter disenfranchisement is big as well. >> thank you. >> always good to be here. sometimes your big moment doesn't go quite the way you planned. senator marco rubio delivered the republicans' response last night. >> nothing has frustrated me more than false choices like the one the president laid out tonight. the choice isn't just between big government and big business. he never broke eye contact with the camera. twitter exploded, of course, and he tweeted a picture of the water bottle he crave. by the way, poland springs was also trending on twitter not long after the incident. of course, he could use a big one like mine. training for the worst.
